This is not ok I totally agree with you, but still, I would rather just block the ads, and not buy their products or support them.

There is a side-effect in terms of privacy: you send a fake click request every single time, you also actually disclose to adnetworks which page you are visiting and incidentally your whole browsing history (not through referrers, but because click URLs have a unique click IDs to match).
